Elevator Machine Rm Ventilation

(OP)
How do you usually provide heat control ventilation for hydraulic elevator machine rooms? (single elevator machine rooms in smaller buildings)
Just looking for different ideas.

RE: Elevator Machine Rm Ventilation

The most common and practical AC systems for machine rooms are the ductless split type with automatic heating/cooling heating switchover (see Figure 1). This system's lifetime is approximately 10 years and costs $8,000 to $13,000 (installed). Capacities of the ductless split AC range from 6,000 BTU/hr. to 48,000 BTU/hr.
Also, Condensation from AC systems in machine rooms is handled by an insulated condensation waste drips into an indoor open, vented sanitary waste system. No floor drains are allowed in machine rooms and curbing from the remainder of the floor is not uncommon. In warmer climates, a dry well into the ground may be used for condensate waste discharge. A dual-condensate waste pump is recommended because machine rooms are unoccupied 90% of the time.


RE: Elevator Machine Rm Ventilation

imok2 is correct. a ductless split system / heat pump is the way to go.
